Grand Piano Recital.

There was abundant measure of music in
store for those who attended the plano re-
citll Of Prof. Burmeister, Of Baltimore, at
the Universalst Church last evening. The
receptive souls Of the wrapt listeners were
bathed in the sweet, melliluous measure Of
the passionate allegro movement OF Bee
thovep, transported by the diversity
OF Chopin's subtle genius from play
ful to devotional, from gay valse mo-
tions TO the stately steppings of polon-
aise, ana fairly reveled In the heroic tran
scIiptions, romantic studies, and the thrill
some rhapsodies of the immortal Liszt.
And what were all the silent notes Of the In
spired composers now silent II 1t were not for
the poetic genius Of the esoteric interpreter
Of the written, voiceless pages. Prof. Bur-
meister evolves all the subtle and mysteIl-
Gus barmonies Of the great composers. He
is indeed, and truth, the magician OF the
piano. The recital last evening was given
under the patronage of Mrs, Daniel s.
lamont, Mrs. A. Leo Knott, and Mrs. IL.
Won Alvensleben. Some of those
present were Judge and Mrs.
A. Leo Knott, Mrs. Tiffany,
Miss Tiffany, Mrs. DIR. Pope, Baron Won
Xedtwtz, Mrs. Andrews, Mr.. de Strive,
Col. Emil Frey, and Mr.. Jauisch.

1t might just as well as not be understood
first as last: The railroad men Of this coun-
try are not going to get any free puffs IN
the newspapers after the interstate com
merce bill goes into effect. AS soon as the
free-pass system dies, the custom OF re-
passenger agent of the - - railway,
as "a talented, cultured, genial, and pop,
ular official" will fall into disrepute. Tnere
be no genial-no, nor any cultured gentle
men--in the railroad business unless they
pay for their geniality aud their
culture at regular advertising rates.
Nor will there be any colonies In the rail-
road profession on and after the 3lst OF
March-at least, so far as we are concerned;
every man now enjoying the title Of colonel
by virtue Of his ability to issue free rail-
road pass will be degraded to the rank OF a
plain mister as soon as the interstate COM
merce bill becomes living, breathing, SEN
tient, desolating thing. The grinding
monopolists shall be brought down to the
business level of the average meek and
lowly patrons who stand around our doors
waiting to get into line for their turns at
the advertising window. When they seek
personal notices in the papers they win
have to pay for them, and when we IN turn
find it necessary to patronize the railroads
we will walk.-EUgenG Field IN Chicago

WE apprehend that many honest men
and women in the literary and political
walks Of life have been unjustly charged
with plagiarism. Because writer or an
orator happens to produce what another
brought out months or years ago, are we
to conclude that the latter producer is q
thief and the original utterer victim Of
theftH Is 1t not possible or even probable
that the second producer really originated
1t before its first utterance, and, having 1t
stored in his mind ready for delivery, was
robbed Of IL unconsciously by the process

AS NO statesman is more prompt to re-
sent any proposed invasion Of the rights OF
a state than Senator Hawley, go no one
more promptly than he recognizes aud de-
tends the rights OF the general government,
In a recent speech he said "Wherever 1t
is indispensable to maintain the federal
government, the federal government is alb.
solute, supreme, and reaches to the smallest
details, and among those is the absolute
right TO have one vote on all national nat
tiers and to have that vote counted. If In
any corner Of this Union the right OF
citizen Of the United States to vote for
member OF Congress is denied him, in form
or by violence, with intent to deprive him
Of his right as a citizen OF the United States,
without reference to statehood at all, the
United States government is bound to pro.
tect him IN any election that involves the
election OF a United States officer. There
always is present, or ought to be, in the
minds Of those who execute tue law the
supreme authority Of the United States.

The editor of the Wheeling Mtclligcnccr
condenses one great lesson of long and
useful life into this bit Of hard sense:
There is but one safe course for husband or
wife-full confidence and no secrets. This
does not mean, of course, that man must
tell his WIFE or the wife her husband, secrets
contided by other people. 1t means that they
are to have no secrets of their own to keep
from each other.
We venture to add to this that 1t Is not
conducive to marital felicity for either hus-
band or wife to become repository for the
secrets Of his or her friends OF the opposite

DURING lively debate In the House last
Thursday Mr.. Morrill,, of Kansas, yielded
"Gve minutes" time to Mr.. Sawyer, OF

that during the short time allowed he spoke
